2 - 2 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge

Access Methods

There are many ways in which you may conﬁgure and monitor the

Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge. When the unit is powered up, basic con-

ﬁguration must initially be performed by accessing the Console Serial

Port. To gain access through the Serial Port, the Ethernet or Token Ring

Bridge must be connected to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emu-

lation program. See Chapter 1 “Installing the Bridge for Ethernet or

Token Ring”. Set the terminal to 9600 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits,

1 stop bit, and ANSI compatible.

Once the Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge has been assigned an IP

address, you may then access the Console remotely using:

n Telnet protocol from a remote host or PC

n HTML browser, such as Netscape Navigator from a remote host

n Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from a remote net-

work management station

Using the Console

The Console system is organized as a set of menus. Each selection in a

menu list may either take you to a sub-menu or display a command that

will conﬁgure or display information controlling the unit.

When the Aironet Bridge is powered up, the main menu will be dis-

played.
